• music: tina arena . whistle down the wind

i've missed tina arena. she has a new cd coming out which i'm looking forward to. tin, burn it for me, yeah? you rock! i'm reminiscing tonight so i pulled out all of her sentimental songs. i never get tired of listening to her. one of my more favorite songs is her rendition of whistle down the wind.

whistle down the wind
let your voices carry
drown out all the rain
light a patch of darkness
treacherous and scary

howl at the stars
whisper when you're sleepy
i'll be there to hold you
i'll be there to stop
the chills and all the weeping

make it clear and strong
so the whole night long
every signal that you send
until the very end
i will not abandon you my precious friend

so try and stand the tide
then you'll raise a banner
send a flare up in the sky
try to burn a torch
and try to build a bonfire

every signal that you send
until the very end
i'm there
so whistle down the wind
for i have always been
right there

isn't that such a lovely song? Its actually from a stage production by andrew lloyd webber with the same title. wish I could've seen it.

i'm so broke, its not even funny. its all my fault tho. went to oxnard on sunday with joes to visit with his parents. and what's a trip to oxnard without stopping by the camarillo outlets? i walked out of the gap with a chocolate brown corduroy jacket. ::sigh:: i really need to exercise more self-control. of course, its moot point if the person you're with (in this instance joes) kinda, slightly pushes you into buying instead of putting the item down. damned instigators. altho, i really have nobody else to blame but myself. i should know better. gah! do i have to take responsibility for my actions?

i'm so glad i stocked up on sardines, pancit canton and corned beef. if i ration well enough, i'm not gonna starve for the next couple of weeks. or, i can always go home-home and freeload. my family loves me, right?

so i'm gonna be a homebody for the next couple of weeks. i will go out, but only if, and only if, it doesn't involve spending. i'll clean house. knit. paint my toenails. anything to keep me busy at home. where i won't spend money. and it'll all be good.

life's a bitca, isn't it.
